Residential Concrete Floor Coatings for Garages
There are many reasons to use Thermal-Chem high-performance residential concrete flooring solutions to coat your garage floor.
Seal and Protect Your Concrete
Seamless epoxy floors protect your concrete floor from being attacked by salt corrosion during the winter months. When you drive your car in from a winter storm all the snow and road salt melt onto your concrete and begin to attack it causing pitting and cracking. All the various fluids in your car (oil, gas, brake fluid, etc) invariably leak and drip onto the concrete causing deterioration and staining. A high performance, industrial epoxy coating protects your concrete extending the life of your garage floor.
Health & Safety
As a porous material, concrete can be a natural breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacteria. Concrete acts as a sponge and holds moisture causing the damp conditions that are perfect for growing mold and mildew. Epoxy floors are impervious, seamless systems offering no place for mold, mildew, and bacteria to grow.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
Epoxy coated floors are designed for years of high performance and ease of cleaning and maintenance. Regular cleaning will help extend the life of your floor as dirt, dust, and grime can cause micro scratches and dull the appearance of the floor. All that is typically needed is mopping with regular water to clean the floor. If a more thorough cleaning is needed a general floor detergent (or Thermal-Chem’s specialty 1105 ArmorClean Epoxy and Urethane Floor Cleaner) can be used at recommended dilution ratios.
Helps keep your house clean
Bare concrete can feel dusty and dirty even after sweeping and mopping it. This powdering/chalking at the surface of the concrete is primarily due to the slow deterioration of the weak top layer of the concrete. A vehicle, foot traffic, and even cleaning can even make the problem worse. This constant source of dust gets over everything in the garage and then gets brought into the house on the bottom of your shoes. Epoxy coating your garage solves this problem once and for all.
Extends the usable living space of your home
An epoxy flake floor will turn your once dark and dirty garage into a bright, clean, and aesthetically pleasing place to hang out. Your garage can become an extension of your living space and be turned into a home gym, man cave, workshop, or an extra room for parties and gatherings.
Makes a good first impression
With attached garages becoming more and more prevalent garages are becoming the main entrance to our homes. Nobody wants to come home to a dark and dusty entrance. A clean, bright, garage floor makes it a lot more pleasant to come home to and makes a good first impression when having guests over.
Improves resale value
If you are planning to sell your home now or in the future, choosing cost-effective ways to improve the value of your home is important. You want to make improvements that offer a good rate of return on your investment and more and more having epoxy garage floor installed is a cost-effective way to boost your homes resale value.
Residential Concrete Floor Coatings for Basements
Today’s homeowners are looking to expand the usable space in their home. Basements have become an economical alternative to home additions but must incorporate flooring materials that meet the challenge of below-ground environments.
Basement Problems
There are two major concerns unique to basements that require homeowners to carefully choose how they will finish their basement space.
Mold & Mildew
Basements typically are damp, humid, and dusty environments. The floor makes up over 40% of the surface space that generates moisture in a basement. Traditional flooring materials such as carpet, vinyl, or laminates, can harbor mold, mildew, and other allergens that pose serious health risks to home occupants.
Basement Flooding
Occasional flooding can generate high mold and mildew counts and often requires complete removal of flooring with little or no reimbursement from insurance companies.

Our high performance polymer flooring systems that provide homeowners with a healthy alternative to traditional flooring materials. Our seamless systems help prevent mold and mildew growth. Our decorative flooring systems permanently bonds to the concrete surface ensuring a permanent fix against age-old flooding.
